Cucumber Cups with Dill Cream and Smoked Salmon image

Classic combos are classic because the flavors go well together! Dill, cucumber, and smoked fish are combined with a bit of lemon to perk things up. Small pieces of smoked trout would be a good substitute for the salmon in this pretty, easy, no-cook hors d'oeuvre. Cucumber cups can be assembled and kept chilled in an airtight container 1 day ahead of time.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large cucumbers
16 ounces smoked salmon
16 ounces cream cheese
dill, to taste
chives, to taste
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
white pepper
additional smoked salmon

Steps:

  • Peel cucumber. (Nota Bene: For a visual effect, use different peeling techniques -- my favorite: use zester to peel the cucumber, cut at intervals around the cucumber, then slice. Save peelings to garnish the serving plate.).
  • Slice to taste. (Nota Bene: Your choice of slicing will affect the flavor greatly, in my opinion, so cut different sizes and sample for yourself! If you use thicker slices, take a small spoon out of the top in order to give a nice place to secure topping.).
  • Arrange cucumbers for service and salt/pepper lightly to taste.
  • Blend or fold salmon and cream cheese. (Nota Bene: reserve some bits of salmon for garnish atop each.).
  • Add chives, dill, salt and pepper to taste. (Nota Bene: For visual effect, I recommend blending salt only into mixture, adding pepper atop plain cucumber instead, then sprinkling dill and chives on top. Also try sprinkling dill, then adorning each with small torn pieces of smoked salmon and then adding chives atop.).
  • Dollop desired amount atop each cucumber slice. (Nota Bene: use icing bags with decorative tips to create lovely dollops.).
  • QUICK AND EASY:.
  • Peel and slice cucumber.
  • Arrange cucumbers for service and salt/pepper lightly to taste.
  • Blend or fold salmon and cream cheese.
  • Add chives, dill, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Dollop desired amount atop each cucumber slice. (.
  • DINNER PARTY:.
  • Cut tips off of cucumber and zest cucumber at regular intervals. Save peelings to garnish the serving plate.
  • Slice cucumbers just thick enough to allow you take a small spoon out of the top in order to give a nice place to secure topping.
  • Arrange cucumbers for service and salt/pepper lightly to taste.
  • Blend or fold salmon, cream cheese, and salt/white pepper to taste. (If you are not using additional salmon, reserve a small bit to use atop each.).
  • Top each cucumber with a dollop of mixture using decorative icing tips.
  • Sprinkle with dill to taste.
  • Top with remaining or additional smoked salmon. (Try cutting very thin slices of salmon and rolling into florets and then standing them upward atop each.).
  • Sprinkle with chives.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound soft mild goat cheese (such as Bucheron or Montrachet), room temperature
10 tablespoons minced fresh arugula or watercress
5 tablespoons olive oil
6 teaspoons minced fresh chives
1 pound smoked salmon slices
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
12 1/2-inch-thick egg bread slices
Fresh arugula or watercress leaves
12 thin lemon slices

Steps:

  • Mix goat cheese, 6 tablespoons minced arugula, 2 tablespoons oil and 2 teaspoons chives in small bowl. Season generously with pepper. Arrange salmon in single layer on large plate. Drizzle 3 tablespoons oil over. Spoon lemon juice over. Sprinkle with 4 tablespoons minced arugula, 4 teaspoons chives and generous amount of pepper. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Just before serving, toast bread. Spread with goat cheese mixture; top with salmon. Place sandwiches on plates. Tuck arugula under sandwiches. Make cut in each lemon slice from center to edge. Twist 1 slice atop each sandwich.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, firm cucumbers, creamy goat cheese, and thinly sliced smoked salmon.
  • Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the cucumber slices in a grill pan or under a broiler.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cucumber slices. They should be slightly tender, but still have a bit of a crunch.
  • Serve the cucumber slices immediately, while they are still warm.

Conclusion:

Smoked salmon, goat cheese, and cucumber slices are a delicious and refreshing appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a light meal.
